Overview

• Mamatha remains in judicial custody while Korutla police examine CCTV footage and probe her alleged motive linked to significant online betting losses.
• Investigators say Mamatha lured her five-year-old niece into a vacant house bathroom, slit her throat with a knife and plant cutter, then joined the search party feigning distress.
• In Majnu Ka Tila, a 22-year-old woman and her six-month-old daughter were found slain with their throats slit, and police suspect the victim’s ex-partner, Nikhil, who is still at large.
• Delhi Police have formed multiple teams to gather forensic and digital evidence, review local CCTV and conduct door-to-door searches to trace Nikhil, believed to have fled the city.
• Both murders have provoked local outrage and underscored concerns over intimate violence and the challenges of detecting threats within private settings.
